Best watercooling case

[Taodragon00]

Basically looking for a case that will fit my custom watercooling and have plenty of space. Here's what i'm running atm:

R2E w/i7 920
BIE 240 w/2 120mm fans & fillport
1/2" ID tubing
Eheim pump
3 HD's & 1 DVD (all sata)
currently running a GTX280 but i'm probably going to go with the 5870 in crossfire.

I'm concerned with not being too cramped and having room to upgrade later and have good airflow while having enough length for the video cards since they are getting disgusting in size (reminds me of the vesa local bus cards back in the day).

Currently looking at the Coolermaster HAF-922 that has its own area for a fillport or the ATCS 840. Any recommendations/thoughts/ideas/etc?

The HAF-922 or the ATCS 840 should work very well. They are somewhat expensive, though. I know a lot of guys like the Coolermaster Stacker series cases for watercooling, so you may want to look at some.

I don't know how much you want to spend, but I really like my Antec 300. For a budget case, it's hard to beat. I've got a 2x140 in the top and a 1x120 in the rear, so your 2x120 should fit just fine. I have my res and pump along with 2 hard drives mounted in the 3.5 rack. If you remove the 3.5 rack, you can fit your 2x120 right up front, but you do lose the bays.

Good luck with whatever you decide on and be sure to post some pics.

ya my only concern with the HAF-922 is being cramped with 2 video cards, all the cables + 1/2" tubing. The pump is quite large (its an Eheim 1250 i believe). Not worried about the price and the 840 is only $179 so its not that bad.

At the high end I'd say the TJ07 or the 800D. At the lower end I'd say the Cosmos or HAF 932 over the 922. All four of those cases have a ton of space in them and can comfortably fir your rad in there with room for if/when you decide to expand.
